Meridian

Meridian is a balanced mixture within the Old London Series. Red and orange Virginias, small-leaved Oriental tobaccos, and a generous but not overwhelming measure of Cyprus latakia are brought together; the blend is pressed and sliced, then rubbed into ribbon form for boxing.

The smoke is medium-bodied and leans savoury rather than sweet; latakia smoke layers with the Oriental leaf's spice and Virginia's sweetness. It is a record aimed at smokers seeking the classic structure with a latakia proportion that doesn't go to excess.
